WPF & Toolbox in VS2008
-
Hi, I just need to create a UserControl, combining two standard controls and add this new one to the ToolBox. I often do this in the WinForms world without any problem, but in WPF-land???? Just as I had created a new Tab in the toolbox and starting to use 'Choose items' my VS2008 immediately closes down without any message. This behavior is best described by the term 'sudden death'. I try this not only once and I try this at a fresh booted machine, doesnt work. No way out. Any workaround? Or is this the wrong way to do things in WPF-land? Thanks for helping Gerhard (:confused:)

I am using VS 2008 and it works fine. I made a new tab then went to choose items, selected the 'WPF components' tab and broswed for my assembly. It showed me all the user controls in the new tab. Did you check your event viewer for the error it logs for the crash ?

No, good hint, will do soon. Ok, thanks for the description, I knew now, what dialog I expect to see next. I dont do this in WPF, so I dont know what should come next. Maybe ist an issue after installing der SP1. I will step back and try to do it with WinForms again, maybe its more general. I stopped developing WinForms, si I dont know the very last state exactly. Hope I can go further. Thanks again Gerhard

I too am using SP1. The first time i tried opening the Choose itesm dialog, it just took its time (around 2 minutes). You might want to wait for some time after selecting choose item. Good luck :>
Sorry, the VS exits with sudden death. No chance. But, after checking the TaskManager I found devenv still running and as I want to reboot the machine, I get a system dialog telling me, that I have to close some open dialogs first. It looks like, that a dialog should open but doesnt for what reason ever and ..... Ok, will check the event log, and dont guess SP1 is the problem. Thanks Gerhard

Thanks Pete, this hotfix is really hot, it works now!!!! I get a dialog, which informs me, that Microsoft.Ink.dll and Microsoft.ReportingServices.Interfaces.dll is missing for what reason ever, but it works in principle. I found my controls and I placed one of them on an other, no problems. So I can try to fix the two dll's in a very relaxed scenario. Thanks a lot. Gerhard ( :-D )

Hi Gerhard, I was having the same problem with vs2008 and the "Choose Items" command in the toolbox. Any chance you have Power Commands 2008 installed? I had it installed because it offered functionality to collapse all projects among other things. Well apparently there is some sort of comflict between vs 2008 and power commands 2008.

Hi proganon, no, there is a hot fix available, please read the older conversation items, and after applying this fix, the toolbox works fine. With best regards Gerhard
